< Psalmi 48 >
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
2 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.
4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.
5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.
6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.
7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
With the east wind you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.
10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.
12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.
